Club Brugge vs PAOK Prediction and Betting Tips | April 11th 2024

The action continues in the UEFA Europa Conference League as Club Brugge and PAOK go head-to-head in the first leg of their quarter-final clash on Thursday.

Both sides will be looking to place one foot in the semi-finals and we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

Club Brugge moved within five points of the top of the Belgian Jupiler League table at the weekend when they picked up a comfortable 3-1 win over Anderlecht on home turf.

Nicky Hayen’s men now turn their attention to the Conference League, where they secured a 4-2 aggregate victory over Swedish outfit Molde in the round of 16 back in March.

This was in keeping with their superb run in the group stages, where Club Brugge picked up five wins and one draw in six matches to secure first place in Group D.

PAOK, on the other hand, thrashed Dinamo Zagreb 5-1 in the second leg of their last-16 clash to secure a 5-3 aggregate victory over the Croatian outfit in March.

Like Club Brugge, this followed an unbeaten group-stage campaign as they picked up five wins and one draw in Group G to clinch top spot, seven points above runners-up Eintracht Frankfurt.

PAOK head into Wednesday’s clash off the back of a 2-2 draw with AEK Athens in the Greek Super League, where they currently sit at the summit of the table with 67 points from 30 games.
